US rapper Kanye West has been hospitalised following an emergency services call, media reports say.<\/p>\n

A police spokesperson told the BBC they had received a “disturbance call” on Monday afternoon, but did not name the singer.<\/p>\n

The disturbance was later deemed a medical incident, he said, and the fire department responded.<\/p>\n

A spokesman for the LA Fire Department said an unnamed man had been taken to hospital for “further assessment”.<\/p>\n

“At 13:20 pacific time, the Los Angeles Fire Department responded to an unspecified medical aid request,” a spokesperson for the service said.<\/p>\n

“An adult male described as medically stable was taken to an area hospital for further assessment.”<\/p>\n

Further details of the incident varied in conflicting reports from multiple news sources.<\/p>\n

NBC News said<\/a> officers had been responding to a “medical welfare call” and the decision to hospitalise West was for his own health and safety, citing “multiple authorities familiar with the case”.<\/p>\n

Gossip website TMZ said that West was taken to hospital<\/a> for “psychiatric evaluation” and had been seeking treatment for “severe sleep deprivation”.<\/p>\n

The Los Angeles Times reported that there had been a 911 call from the address, <\/a>citing a fire department source.<\/p>\n

Neither West nor his representatives have made an official statement about the incident.<\/p>\n

His wife, Kim Kardashian, was expected to appear at a New York City social event on Monday – her first public appearance since she was robbed in Paris in October<\/a> – but she did not attend.<\/p>\n

West had cancelled all remaining dates on his current tour after abandoning a Sacramento performance at the weekend<\/a>.<\/p>\n

He had performed just three songs on Saturday night, before embarking on an unscripted rant, criticising Facebook, Jay Z and Hillary Clinton.<\/p>\n

He criticised Facebook boss Mark Zuckerberg for failing to give him $53m (\u00a342.5m) to get out of debt and said he was hurt that Jay Z failed to visit his family after last month’s robbery.<\/p>\n

West then appeared to suggest that Jay Z employed hit men, saying: “Jay Z, I know you got killers, please don’t send them at my head.”<\/p>\n

“Get ready to have a field day, press, because the show’s over,” he said, as he dropped his microphone and walked out.<\/p>\n

His promoter, Live Nation, has announced refunds for all tickets from the show.<\/p>\n

No reason has been given for the cancellation of the remaining dates.<\/p>\n
